Why are most reproductions of guns expensive as all fuck?

>semi auto Colt 1918 BAR
>$8,799

Who the hell is actually going to pay for that?

Are there any reproductions that don't cost an arm and a leg?

It has Colt stamped on it so you know somewhere Cleetus and Bubba are saving their Social Security checks they get from "workplace injuries" to buy it.

Colt has a fetish of making low production special editions and trying to sell them at retarded prices.

>high demand
>small supply

Oh, I don't know

Sadly this, Ohio Ord makes them for colt. For Ohio stamp it's around 5k, still pricy. Yes Colt wants 3grand for a label, ok...the box is pretty.

Universal m1 carbines usually cost less than a decent AR or AK for a reason

you sound poor.

>>28066298
Nah, just not stupid.

I could buy like 5 better rifles for the price of one repro BAR.

>>28064977
Its not even a proper repro, its just a mock up really. M1918s fired from an open bolt which is illegal today so the action has to be totally different.

I never noticed that before, that stinks. I wonder if they even bother putting a dummy selector switch in.
